Here we are with our last set of interviews from bloggers who have seen EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed and wanted to share what they thought of it.
I have had a really wonderful time interviewing all 1 2 3 and now the number 3 set of people. It was nice to read what everyone had to say. If you have seen EXPELLED and would like to be interview on Growing In Grace Magazine, please email me and I will conduct an interview with you!
So now to begin this round of interviews, we have Ellie of It's The Life. She is the third child, but oldest daughter, in a homeschooling family of 7. She was able to see EXPELLED and was excited to be able to expell her thoughts on it. Here is what she had to say:
GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Ellie: I had heard some good and bad thoughts about it and I was sure it was going to have some good stuff in it but go way over my head !:D
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Ellie: I liked the last interview with Dawkins. I thought that was very powerful! I also really liked how they put in the scenes from old black and white movies. I thought that was very clever!
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Ellie: Nothing that I can think of.
GGM Newsroom:What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Ellie: I had never realized before how little proof people really have for the idea of evolution........ I was so shocked!
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Ellie: I believe that every man,woman,girl and boy who lives in America( "the home of the free") must see this film.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Ellie: I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was really well done but I would like to see a second one. Where the point is to show people how wrong the idea of evolution is and have them search even deeper and ask harder questions. But I think this movie did its duty as a starting point very well. May God bless Ben Stein
Next we have Beth from The Tack Room. Beth is the second oldest in a family of 6. She has been homeschooled all her life. She saw EXPELLED and really enjoyed it and wanted to let you know what she thought: GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Beth: I guess I was thinking it would have more humor. When you look at the poster, you think of a comedic look at the issue, but in reality the film's message is completely serious.
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Beth: My favorite scene was Ben Stein's trip to the German extermination camp (I can't recall the name). It was an incredibly powerful moment--I nearly cried. To see how Darwinism led directly to Hitler was frightening and sobering.
Also, I loved Stein's final interview with Richard Dawkins (author of "The God Delusion." Dawkins is clearly uncomfortable with the pressing question of God's existence, and the possibility of intelligent design.
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Beth: I really can't think of anything that I would like to see done differently. I was very impressed by how far Ben Stein went to advocate the existence of God, not simply "intelligent design" (i.e. aliens or some such nonsense).
GGM Newsroom: What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Beth: Throughout the movie, Stein interviews many of the world's leading evolutionists, and I was completely surprised by how frightened they are of intelligent design. They are defensive and nervous, and will go to any length to deny the existence of a sovereign God (although they'll accept aliens with no questions asked). I had no idea that evolutionists themselves were uncomfortable with their theory.
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Beth: I would recommend this movie to all audiences. Young children would probably be bored with much of it, but the message is for everyone.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Beth: Overall, I was blown away. Ben Stein has made a movie that lays bare our culture's anti-God and anti-Christian sentiments, and even goes the extra mile towards refuting the theory of evolution itself. Throughout the film, the parallel is drawn between the Berlin wall and America's bias against intelligent design--a powerful and true analogy. Everyone needs to see this movie.
Our last, but not least, interview is from Stephanie10 of The Barren Blog...or Because I'm Not, This Blog Is. She is the homeschooling mother of 10 children. She had the following to say about EXPELLED: GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Stephanie10: I saw the trailer via an Answers in Genesis email, so I knew it was a documentary and was prepared to be a little bored now and then. My husband and I went anyway to support its production, though we figured we were probably already familiar with the concepts that would be presented.
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Stephanie10: There were many fascinating interviews, but one that stood out involved a scientist who, after mocking the idea of a powerful God creating the universe, postulated that life came about on the backs of crystals. When pressed, "How, exactly, did you say life began?" he became defensive, angrily reiterating, "I already told you! Weren't you listening?" (not exact quotes) It made me think of Captain Jack Sparrow's unbelievable tale of escaping from his island of exile in Pirates of the Caribbean--on the backs of sea turtles, using ropes made from the hair on his back.
Another part I enjoyed was the three-dimensional animation of a "simple" cell.
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Stephanie10: Although I largely enjoyed them, at times I found the many movie/cartoon/photo clips somewhat distracting. (They did help bring a little levity to deep discussions, however.)
GGM Newsroom:What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Stephanie10: The candid answers of one author/scientist were especially revealing in understanding the mindset of an atheist. Another interviewee exposed the futility of life without knowing God--though I'm not sure he realized that's what he was doing. (Certainly it was not his intention.) I found the arrogant, self-assured "knowledge" the agnostics/atheists displayed jaw dropping.
Although familiar with the correlations, I was again reminded of how evolutionistic thinking leads to death, not life.
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Stephanie10: Even though this movie's purpose was not to present the God of the Bible as our universe's creator, it touched on many aspects of creation and design that cannot be explained by sheer, random chance. It offers an alternative to unthinking acceptance of the "molecules to man" evolutionary ideas. And it questions, loudly, why the scientific community stifles an open exchange of theories, speculations, and discussions. I think this movie is best fitted for those at least 13 and up, as it does display some gruesome pictures of the Nazi Holocaust.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Stephanie10: Altogether, this was a good documentary that exposes double standards in the scientific community and shines a light on the absolute impossibility of evolution--as well as showing the hopeless moral sewer to which evolutionary thinking inevitably leads.
Well I hope you enjoyed our series of interviews from bloggers who have seen EXPELLED. If you would like to read all the interviews, you can click this graphic for them. Thank you to everyone who was interviewed! I really appreciate you taking the time to let us know your thoughts! If you have a story that you think needs to be reported in The Daily Newsroom, email it to me and I will take it into consideration! Have a great day! 
This will be our second to last set of EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed interview series. I have personally enjoyed reading what the interviewees have had to say about it and am so glad that I have the opportunity to share it with you.
First off, we have Breezy of a bowl of moss & pebbles. She is a wonderful artist and a girl who wants to please God and her parents in everything.
Breezy said this about EXPELLED:
GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Breezy: I had heard about the documentary and saw the trailer quite awhile back. I knew what perspective Ben Stein was coming from and was eager to see it. I looked forward to seeing how the Evolutionists would respond.
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Breezy: Ben Stein basically asked Richard Dawkins if he had any idea how life began, how the first cell came into being. And I cannot forget his reply, "No, no, I don't, nor does anybody." I expected something "a bit more scientific."
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Breezy: If they had included something on Marxism, it could have opened a whole can of worms on the consequences of evolutionary teaching. But even though that point wasn't brought up, it encompassed a great deal of information. People will want to look deeper for the answers, and they will find them.
GGM Newsroom:What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Breezy: I have heard many, many arguments for creationism, not to mention ID, and enjoy learning about both. What was really eye-opening was to find that Evolutionists argue amongst themselves and have no real clue as to how that first cell formed.
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Breezy: Because the world-views and scientific jargon begin to run a bit deep, portions may go right over some heads, but I would recommend the film to everyone, Christians and Non-Christians alike. This issue needs to be addressed.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Breezy: Ben Stein was a great host and asked some hard-hitting questions most of us don't think to ask. The way they incorporated the Berlin Wall kept the film far from dull, and there are some surprises along the way that keep it quite entertaining. The cinematography was excellent - it is the best documentary I have ever seen.
Emily Rose of the time that has elapsed, who is Breezy's younger sister, is also a sweet girl who loves the Lord and everything vintage.
She enjoyed EXPELLED and had these thoughts about it:
GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Emily Rose: Yes, I thought sounded wonderful, having read about it
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Emily Rose: Probably, my favorite part was when Dawkins said "We could have been designed by a higher intelligence" (he said something to that effect, not sure what word for word was). And the part about forming on the backs of crystals was quite silly, I got a good laugh out of it.
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Emily Rose: I would have liked for them to actually answer the question - "How did life begin?" and actually give a message of hope to it's viewers.
GGM Newsroom: What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Emily Rose: It was amazing to me to see these brilliant men deny over and over again the idea of an Intelligent Designer - it's almost like they were still trying to convince themselves because they repeated themselves so much. (See Romans 1:19)
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Emily Rose: I highly recommend for all to see this film - it shows what is going on in the scientific world and it also shows how many of Hitler's ideas originated with Darwin's theories.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Emily Rose: It is an excellent movie! I was very impressed and would go see it again if it were still in town! Great cinematography!
Jen Wallace, who is my aunt,is a stay at home pastor's wife. She recently has quit working and is now caring for her home and hearth! She was able to go see EXPELLED with my dad, my sister and I when she surprised us by coming up to Indiana. She was really excited to see it and had this to say:
GGM Newsroom:Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Jen: I thought it was going to be a little boring
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Jen: The part I really loved was the fact that the ppl that believe in evolution admit that they have NO idea how this started-(this is something I did NOT know!) I thought they at least made up some stupid idea.
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Jen: Well I would have liked to hear more from how these professors and teachers that lost their jobs.
GGM Newsroom: What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Jen: The fact that they openly admit that they have no evidence to back up this THEORY! Also the fact that in schools they don't push the FACT that this is ONLY a THEORY!
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Jen: I would definitely recommend this movie for all to see. Open peoples eyes to the truth of what is being taught from pure theory alone. With no evidence.
GGM Newsroom:What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Jen: I really enjoyed watching the main character simply ask matter-of-fact questions to scientists who could not give proof of an explanation of what they base their whole belief of evolution on. That is scary how people can be led astray so easily...but it happens everyday! I also think it is evident how scientists are very afraid of what truth can be uncovered disproving their theories when it comes to intelligent design. I loved the fact that Ben Stein never even talked about God....working hard to make this NOT about a religious battle...or taking sides for a certain denomination...instead he basically said well since you don't know how it happened...do you think it could've possibly?
I want to thank you, Breezy, Emily Rose, and Aunt Jen for expelling your thoughts on EXPELLED to help our readers get a feel for the movie.
I will be personally posting an article about EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed soon at The Daily Planet, so be sure to be check there to see if its up!
I have been fortunate to have been able to interview some of my friends who have seen EXPELLED. Here is what they had to say.
Jake of Iron Men and Wooden Ships is a homeschool freshman who is a Biblical believer had these thoughts about EXPELLED.
GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Jake: Not much. I don't think about movies before I see them.
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Jake: I didn't have any.
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Jake: I can't think of anything.
GGM Newsroom:What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Jake: That is definitely the first time I have seen a non-Christian openly attack the evolutionist world in a form that everyone can access. I think that we need more people who are willing to do that.
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not reccomend Expelled to anyone to see?
Jake: I would DEFINITELY recommend it. I think that we need to push education that teaches teens to question what they are being taught, and this is definitely something that promotes it.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Jake: Why didn't someone do this sooner?!!
Paul Suarez Jr. of Paul's Blogging who is a homeschool graduate of 2008 and son of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine publishers was able to see EXPELLED about 3 times and wanted to say this about it.
GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about expelled before you saw it?
Paul Suarez Jr.: Yeah actually, I thought it was going to be quite a bit different. And after watching it the first time I was slightly disappointed. But the more times I saw it, the more I appreciated it.
GGM Newsroom:What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Paul Suarez Jr.: Ha, well, I have several favorite points and sayings. I’ll go through a few of my favorites. I thought it was funny how Eugenie Scott said (so ignorantly) “The best kept secret is that most Protestants and Catholics are ok with evolution...”.
Richard Dawkins’ statement was just classic when he said, “Anyone can see that evolution is fact as long as they are sane… and not stupid”.
One of my very favorite lines was from Michael Ruse. He went on to explain a probable theory... “One popular theory is, the first replicating molecule started on the backs of crystals. And because of mutations with crystals, there’s room for natural selection.” Then Ben asks, “but how did non-living matter become living matter?” ... “Well, like I’ve said, off the back of crystals” “Yeah but, at one point over here we had no life and then all of the sudden there’s life, how’d that happen? “I’ve already told you; let’s try one more time. Off the backs of crystals!”
This was a good line from Ben when talking about the different court cases on the matter. “But I thought science was settled over the evidence, not taking people to court.”
I can’t remember who said this but it was an interesting line “As religion fades away, more science will be revealed.” Ha! As if science and creation/Christianity contradict each other!?!
I think my favorite line is the one below. Unfortunately, I do not remember who wrote this either, “Like, say, Noah’s Ark… I mean, come on! You shouldn’t even be insulting little kids with this.”
Haha, man, we Christians must be so stupid. Telling little kids that God put two of every animal onto a big boat. What were we thinking?
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Paul Suarez Jr.: Well, the way they marketed it made me think it was going to be a little more humorous than the film actually was. I would have also liked to see a harder slam on today’s public education system here in the US and abroad. But the more I saw the film, the more I change my mind on certain things. I’ve seen it three times already and I now appreciate how it was organized.
GGM Newsroom: What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Paul Suarez Jr.: I didn’t know much about Eugenics or Planned Parenthood and it was interesting how that was sort of Hitler’s plan to make a better humanity.
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Paul Suarez Jr.: I would recommend that everyone see Expelled, but specifically the teenage/young-adult crowd.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Paul Suarez Jr.: I thought Expelled was great. I hope it really opens the eyes of a lot of scientists and teachers. The most amazing thing… the biggest accomplishment that Ben Stein made was getting such a production up on the silver screen. He found a way to get his message to almost everyone. That, right there, is a HUGE accomplishment!
You really need to watch it over and over and over to catch everything. Like I said, I saw it 3 times in the theaters and I’ll be getting it when it comes on DVD, too.
All in all, a great eye-opening movie!
Sprittibee is the homeschooling mom of 2 children and an avid blogger who was the one person that alerted me personally to EXPELLED back in February.
GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Sprittibee: I loved the preview. Looked like they put a lot of thought and money in to the making of the movie.
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Sprittibee: Too many to say. I loved seeing the true colors of Dawkins. I loved the animated interior of the cell clip.
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Sprittibee: I would have loved for them to leave the dumb Yoko Ono Beattles clip out of it so she wouldn't have sued them. Other than that, they did a fine job. I wanted to go in and get that lady's personal opinion on the concentration camp tour - she seemed like she was condoning Eugenics. ICK.
GGM Newsroom: What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Sprittibee: The extent of Eugenics. Horrific stuff. Especially that there are still people that would do it again if allowed to. Sad to think that it was only 65 years ago when the Holocaust happened. That isn't so far removed from us today. And then there is Sudan, Bosnia, etc. Racial and genetic hatred is scary stuff. So is the government telling you what to read, watch, eat, say, and think.
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Sprittibee: Anyone who loves freedom should see this movie. No one wants thought police. No one wants to be told to shut up and conform. To have true freedom there must be freedom of speech and academic freedom. We stand to loose it all if we silence anyone who has opposing views. All views are equal until they are proven false. Let the ideas be presented - without bias. From all angles. The best ideas will last.
Thank you to the above interviewees that took the time to answer those questions. I appreciate it!
I have more interviews lined up, so be checking back soon! If you have seen EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed, please email me and I will send you the questions. I would love to interview for GGM.
I have asked some the following who have seen EXPELLED, if I could interview them about the movie. Here is what they had to say.
Jess of From the Pages of My Heart who is a 15 Biblical young lady had these thoughts about EXPELLED:
GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Jess: I expected it to be sort of boring.
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Jess: When Ben Stein interviewed this one guy and was trying to get him to deny God. And the man was stuttering and it was difficult for him to say it. But in the end, unfortunately, he did. Also, when Ben Stein was comparing Darwinism to Nazism. Very interesting. Sad but true.
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Jess: Nothing, I don't think.
GGM Newsroom: What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Jess: About how Hitler made it that the disabled and elderly were gassed to death and then disassembled them and burned the remains!!!
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Jess: I would recommend it to the mature teen or young adult because it is a great movie about controversy and the truth about God in the public schools and many professions today.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Jess: Great movie, not for young children.
SisterLisa of The HomeSpun Life who is a Biblical mother of four and mentor to many had the following to say about EXPELLED.
GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
SisterLisa: Yes, I had heard about it at the HSBA and then visited the site and read the entire site.
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
SisterLisa: It's difficult to say that I have a favorite part. It's a documentary film, so there's really no 'entertainment' about it. There were a few parts I chuckeled at, but only due to the stupidity of some comments made by ignorant people who are 'known' as intelligent. In my opinion, an intelligent person would have more knowledge of topics before making statements that they think are fact.
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
SisterLisa: I would like to see a future film from Ben Stein about this. It seemed as though he could do more and he sid he plans to look into this further.
GGM Newsroom: What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
SisterLisa: The film made it quite evident that the government and 'Science' is violating our country's freedom of speech. If a science professor wants to explore other possibilities other than Evolution, that have the right to do that research and write about it. There are so many people who found holes in Darwin's theory and that has not been accepted.
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
SisterLisa: I would recommend this film for every living person. Not just Americans. Although I feel that in our country that claims to have freedom, that we must open our eyes to the fact that our freedoms are being taken away.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
SisterLisa: My overall thoughts are that Richard Dawkins has become somewhat of a preacher, in my opinion. He stands behind a pulpit and preaches his view to others, has written his own book, uses evolution as his doctrine, and holds Darwin high as the authority on the subject. Evolution cannot be proven as a fact, which means he has to take it in faith. In my mind that is a religion. He claims to be atheist, yet he wrote a book about God and even read an excerpt from it with such hatred. If he doesn't believe in God then how can he hate him so much? To me it shows his realization that God is real. Look at it this way, if he doesn't think God is real then why have hate? I'm sure he doesn't think Tinkerbell is a real person, but will he dedicate his life to writing a book on how much he hates her too? In my heart his actions shows just how much he really does believe in God. I'm sad for his soul. I think to myself, "Something bad must have happen! ed to him to have caused so much hate."
I think the film was made quite well and Ben Stein never shows any disrespect at all, yet the evolutionists do. Time and time again they make rude comments about our faith and about us as Creationists.
It's also interesting to learn about Intelligent Design. ID is a concept being explored as the other possibility it has no specific religious basis, yet even the evolutionists in this film are against it and claim that it is a religious pursuit to get prayer back into the schools. My final thought on the impression I got is that our country is headed towards a very destructive time if we continue to allow our freedoms to be taken away.So much of what is being done, which was exposed in the film and in my opinion, leads towards Nazism. Expelled really is a must see for every human being.
Heather of Pianolove who is a homeschool senior went and saw EXPELLED and said this about it:
GGM Newsroom: Did you have any thoughts about Expelled before you saw it?
Heather: I thought it would be a funny documentary on something creation vs. evolution.
GGM Newsroom: What was your favorite part, saying, point, etc of Expelled?
Heather: My favorite part was the virtual journey through the cell. I saw this in the theater on the big screen and really enjoyed that. I also appreciated the way Stein brought out the side affects of an evolutionary world veiw.
Heather: My favorite quote is, and please bear with me because I don't remember who said it or exactly how it goes, "They think that the way they interpret science affects their world view, but actually, their world view affects the way they interpret science." That is SO true!
GGM Newsroom: What would you have liked to see discussed or done differently on Expelled?
Heather: It wasn't as funny as I expected. I think that comedy is very helpful when we're dealing with hard issues like this.
GGM Newsroom: What in Expelled made you think, or opened your eyes, or brought something up that you didn't know about?
Heather: Seeing the atheists present their views, particularly Richard Dawkins. They are on the losing side and they know it. They are terrified! You can read it in their faces plain as day. I don't understand why Dawkins spoke so vehemently of God and then couldn't say he was 100% sure He didn't exist!
GGM Newsroom: Why would you recommend or not recommend Expelled to anyone to see?
Heather: I would caution parents that there is one shot of a pile of bodies from the holocaust. It is not detailed and most young children probably would not recognize it as bodies (no faces or anything and they were so emaciated they looked more like sticks). Our nine year old was fine.
GGM Newsroom: What are your overall thoughts on Expelled?
Heather: I enjoyed it and I strongly recommend it. I've heard from a few people who were not happy because christianity wasn't promoted, but that didn't bother me because christianity and ID (intelligent design) go hand in hand. Besides, the main purpose of the documentary was to show us that people are being persecuted here! Our freedom of speech hangs in the balance.
You can read more about her experience of the movie at http://www.expelledexcels.com/
I would like to thank Jess, SisterLisa, and Heather for taking the time to be interviewed and for sharing their thoughts on this controversial film.
EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed is still playing at theaters, if you have not gone and seen it, GO NOW! This is a film you DO NOT want to miss!
Be sure to check back next week for more interviews from people who saw EXPELLED.
It has been almost 2 weeks since the premiere of EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed. The statistics are phenomenal! BUT Ben Stein's movie is now in danger of being “EXPELLED” from theaters!
Despite:
A “Top 10” box office opening…
Standing ovations in theaters…
Scathing critics and raving fans…
EXPELLED is being sued by YOKO ONO and she's demanding that it be booted from THEATERS NOW! EXPELLED producers on trial at XVIVO.
Executive Producers of EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed posted a statement on the Lawsuit by Yoko Ono saying:
"The fair use doctrine is a well established copyright principle based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.
We are disappointed therefore that Yoko Ono and others have decided to challenge our free speech right to comment on the song Imagine in our documentary film.
Based on the fair use doctrine, news commentators and film documentarians regularly use material in the same way we do in EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed .
Premise Media acknowledges that Ms. Yoko Ono did not license the song for use in the Film. Instead, a very small portion of the song was used under the fair use doctrine.
Unbiased viewers of the film will see that the Imagine clip was used as part of a social commentary in the exercise of free speech and freedom of inquiry. Unbiased viewers of the film will also understand that the Imagine clip was used to contrast the messages in the Documentary and that the clip was not used as an endorsement within Expelled."
They are asking us to PLEASE SEE EXPELLED NOW; its future relies on you. If you haven't seen EXPELLED, and want to, you can Check HERE to see where EXPELLED is playing near you.
Even though EXPELLED has withstood harsh reviews from liberal critics, predictions of box office failure and ridiculous lawsuits, EXPELLED has become a FAN FAVORITE:
#5 in per screen box office ($3,000 per screen)
#9 overall, despite being on only half the screens of its competitors
EXPELLED may become one of the top 10 box-office performing documentaries of all time.
The Christian Post said this about EXPELLED: "It opened as one of the most commercially successful releases for any documentary film."
That is just amazing! But through all this praise, Ben Stein still needs your help… Secular critics, atheist groups, and now the beloved Yoko Ono are black balling EXPELLED and trying to get it out of theaters. Without strong support from viewers like you, EXPELLED could get tossed from the theaters. PLEASE get out to SEE EXPELLED THIS WEEK.
Ben Stein is risking his career by taking on the world's leading atheists, and he can’t do it alone – he needs your support. >CLICK HERE to take a GROUP to see EXPELLED.

Be sure to come back soon for some interviews of people who have seen EXPELLED and what they thought of it! But in the mean time, GO SEE EXPELLED!
The Creation vs. Evolution debate is one that is more prevalent than ever! Though it may not seem like a big issue it is. You don't hear too much about the battle that is going on because they don't want you to, but it is now time to let the world know the truth!
We, as human beings, think that what we believe is what should be believed whether it is correct or not in most cases. We push our own beliefs on those who really have their own right to not believe what we do. I don't have a problem with people who believe in Darwin's theory. I believe it is wrong, and I will tell them so, but I will not go to the point of pushing my beliefs about creation on them. Yet creationists are set down and shut up because they say Darwinism is wrong.
They have been put down and shut up too long and are now back in full force! They are ready and equipped to take on those who have been oppressing them.
The best of the best of the scientific world have pushed back and opened up to let the world know the real truth about science and what the Darwinist don't want you to really know about the Darwin Theory in Ben Stein's "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed".
As some of you may know Ben Stein's "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" is going to premier on April 14th in select theaters.

This movie has been talked about all over and even had their premiere date pushed back to April 18th from its February original date. This movie is so truth telling that the men and women who are making this film are risking EVERYTHING for it! EVERYTHING!
It is already a highly controversial film, and its host Ben Stein is on a personal quest to discover more about the topic of origins and to expose the ruthlessness of many evolutionists. Even though Stein is not a creationist and is not a Christian, he presents the evidence of intelligent design we see in the world and exposes the censorship efforts of leading evolutionists.
In a scientific world gone mad, "EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed" is the controversial documentary that will chronicle Ben Stein's confrontation with the Neo-Darwinian machine, exposing widespread suppression and entrenched discrimination in his heroic quest to bring back freedom in our institutions, laboratories and most importantly, in our classrooms, with the help of the world's top scientists, educators and thinkers.

Here are what just a few of well-known people had to say on "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed"
“I urge everyone not to miss 'EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed'." I found it riveting, eye-opening, and even astonishing. Ben Stein does a masterful job of exposing the ruthlessness of evolutionists who will go after anyone who challenges or merely questions Darwinian orthodoxy. I was on the edge of my seat -- entertained yet instructed. This movie is a must-see. Challenge school board members in your community to watch this well-produced documentary. Even pay for their tickets, but get them there! Congratulations to Ben Stein and the producers for the courage to create a much-needed perspective on the erosion of freedoms in America.”
-Ken Ham, President of the world’s largest apologetics [or Bible-defending] ministry, Answers in Genesis, and the newly opened Creation Museum *See the blog entry at Answers in Genesis where Ken met Ben Stein.
“EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed" is a powerful and riveting film which exposes the Darwinian cover-up of the alternative theory of intelligent design. The campaign of suppression against any rational alternative to evolution is real. With this film, however, evolution’s monopoly on science is officially in jeopardy, and the secularists know it. That’s why they already hate "EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed", and that’s why every open-minded person will love it.”
- Rev. Donald E. Wildmon, Founder & Chairman of American Family Association
"Thank you for the triggering a cultural earthquake through 'EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed.' When I saw it, I was stunned, amazed, shocked, entertained, enlightened, moved, and overwhelmed! The Berlin Wall theme was brilliantly executed and fully vindicated by the interviews. Everyone I talked to after the screening used words like 'fabulous' and 'incredible'. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this masterpiece."
-Dr. Tom Woodward, Director: C.S. Lewis Society
“'EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed' is a documentary that deals with two issues: academic freedom and intelligent design. It does an excellent job of showing how professors in academia and journalists in the media find themselves ‘expelled’ if they even give a hearing to intelligent design. It also provides a concise and accurate picture of the research behind intelligent design. As a talk show host I am often frustrated by scientists who cannot communicate clearly. And as someone who has been writing about the origins debate for over 30 years ago, I have been frustrated about many presentations that are not accurate. 'EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed' avoids both of those mistakes and clearly informs the audience about the nature of this debate.”
-Kerby Anderson, National Director of Probe Ministries & Host of Point of View radio talk show
In the trailer, Mr. Stein goes on to tell you the premise for this controversial movie that even has the big dogs shaking.
I love what Mr. Stein says in response to what everyone believes. He says, "I have no problem if people want to believe that sort of thing (evolution), after all we believe in a free society. This isn't Nazi Germany. People are allowed to believe and say whether they believe in God and the development of life. At least that is what I used to think."
He has come to realize that we don't live in a society of free speech and he is going to take that back!
Please join us as we embark on a new series inspired by Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed in our NEW column, "Stop The Presses" from The Daily Newsroom, here at Growing In Grace Magazine to "expel" the myth that some scientists and our government don't want you to know!
As the site says, "Big science has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom. What they forgot is that every generation has its REBEL!"
